SDCC 2024 Open Registration

[marcia29]

My credit card was charged for one of the badges that I purchased for someone else. So if anyone is still waiting to pay for their own badges, now is the time. 

They are quick today.  Seemed like it was a few more hours before they began charging cards after RR.

Same...was unexpected.

Got everything set up as I just got home from work, tried sleeping for 2 hours till the sale, set 4 alarms and woke up 3 hours right after Saturday sold out, and one of my sessions started 2 minutes ago, sucked but only needed preview night and wouldn't have gotten in, maybe on my phone but will never know.

She’s at a conference but her husband shot you an email so he can reimburse you. I don’t think anyone was expecting payments to process that quickly.

My entire group who was eligible for RR got what they wanted then thankfully, so I was only worrying about the 3 newbies to my group this year. The 3 badges I purchased got charged somewhere around 1:16PM PST as that's when I got an email about an (expected) single badge going onto my card. I did get in within the first 10 minutes though. For comparison after RR, I got my charge confirmation email at 6:48PM [PDT at the time] same day but got in much later despite 4-days still being available.

I feel the, "was [not] expecting payments to process that quickly" note. I told everyone to try and get in ASAP when possible to take care of it, just in case, but one of the newbies is out of consistent service all day and even then I was a bit surprised it charged by 1:30pm. He obviously wasn't able to get on in time from the charge; I give that a pass of course. And at least it wasn't a 4-day + PN badge cost or something as he's only planning on going for a couple days to start.

Wait time 22 minutes yikes

My wait time was 50 minutes, only Preview Night and Saturday were gone.  Only a few Fridays were left.

Already had four nights, took a shot to see f I could land Preview Night. Behold! It worked … checked out at 12:22 EST.

Hoping my good luck spreads to the hotel lottery.

Probably won’t.

Thinking CCI was going by the 'old' rules that said you couldn't participate in open registration if you had 4 days + PN, I asked for and got just 4 days during Returning Reg thru my buying group, so that I could help out during open registration.  I did get PN thru my group.  I wasn't able to get in to help.

From what I saw, they waited until AFTER the Returning Registration sale to announce that BIG change.  I think that is a rather odd change.

You did a great job keeping us in line during the sale! Overall we did very well minus a couple of hiccups (which I think happens during every sale). I wasn’t able to get in either which was frustrating.

A sale without hiccups would be a dream!

What charge confirmation email? I haven't gotten any charge confirmation emails. Should I be worried? I know the returning registration was charged to my credit card.

Nevermind. I dug around and found it.

Did you check to see that your cc info is in the system? If not then that's why you didn't get a charge info.
